Question: 2 . ( 2 0 ) There are two metal electrodes with nanoscale air gap of ( L ) . The work function

2.(20) There are two metal electrodes with nanoscale air gap of \( L \). The work function of two same metals are W.
(1) Draw the energy diagram for electrons of kinetic energy E inside the metals, as shown in figure. Represent the work function W in the figure.
(2) If \(\mathrm{W}=6\mathrm{eV}\) and the air gap is \(\mathrm{L}=1\mathrm{~nm}\), calculate the tunneling probability of electrons between the two metals.
(3) To make the tunneling probability as \(10^{-5}\) in (2), find how much voltage we need to apply between two metals.
